Lot split allows road to housing complex

EPHRAIM — A contractor working for a developer who is building a housing complex in Ephraim requested road access to the future complex.

The city council approved the lot split of Joe Christensen’s property, located on the southeast corner of 400 South and 100 East, allowing the Christensens to sell the east half of the property to the developer.

The one-lane gravel road between 400 and 600 East will be made into a two-lane road and aligned with the 400 East and 100 South intersection. The road widening required part of Christensen’s property.

To expedite the process and to allow building of the road before winter, the approval was made in a special city council meeting on the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 25, two days after the planning and zoning meeting.
